So far, there has been an mlx4-specific sysfs file allowing user to
change port type to either Ethernet of InfiniBand. This is very
inconvenient.
Again, I want to express my concerns regarding all of this until this
will be integrated into udev/systemd for stable device names. While one
can build wrapper code around devlink to have stable devlink ports, I
don't see a reason to include kernel code which actually has more
problems than the sysfs approach. This harms admins to use those devices
and will additionally require user space to write boiler plate code.
Thanks,
Hannes
